iPad Apps stopped working in iPadOS 27

I have an iPad Series 7 and just installed iPadOS 27. Now two of my apps don't work. Marple and NHL. Marple just exits when I try to play from the in-app menu. NHL just hangs when I start it. Both apps work fine on my iPhone 16 that has iOS 27 installed. I've tried deleting the apps and re-installing. I've tried restarting the iPad. Any suggestions?

Some App Developers have not yet updated their Apps to be fully compatible with iPadOS 27 - despite having had significant opportunity to do so prior to the full release of iPadOS 27 to the public.


As the issue lies with specific Apps, you would be best advised to report the issue to the respective App Developers - as only they can update their Apps:

With the last update being six years ago, it is quite possible that the App has been abandoned by its Developer. While iOS for iPhone and iPadOS for iPad are closely related, there are differences beyond the screen size.


Your only option is to attempt to report the problem to its Developer.

The last update to Marple was 6 years ago. I thought if it works on the iPhone but not the iPad that there may have been something I overlooked.
